1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : units from over 5 years just for ...... (Message 136145) Posted 13 Jul 2005 by Mark Krauss Post: hi! im crunching berkeley data for more than 5 years and im very angry about loosing my units. nobody needs boinc - so why are we forced to use it? starting over with zero ruins all and im not shure, if i will support setiathome in future. You are offending your old users!!!! yours sincerely m.slunsky Your old units are not lost, they will always be a part of your profile: SETI@home classic workunits as of 15 March 2005 6,687 SETI@home classic CPU time as of 15 March 2005 57,506 hours Note that your credit is current as of March 15, and it will be updated to reflect final totals when classic shuts down in 1-3 months. The classic credit and BOINC credit cannot be merged because they use a different system. SETI Classic was wonderful in its day, but that day is gone. Soon it would not be able to do the science that needs to be done. We do need BOINC to continue to contribute. I'm with Jason. While not having been in the system as long as he, I've put 7 computers on this task, in great part because I could see easily the number of units completed, and that as a comparrison with all users, and those who were in my starting class. It gave me a sense of satisfaction to see that I was contributing to something. I get no such sense from the "new improved" seti@home. I'm curious to know how much, if any, thought went into the "perceived value" your volunteers would receive out of this upgrade. Mark
